A New York Times executive was fatally shot in California, allegedly by his wife’s elderly parents who have been arrested on suspicion of murder.<\/p>\n
Jonathan McKinsey, 40, the newspaper’s director of engineering for games player experience, was found with multiple gunshot wounds in a car park in Dublin – 35 miles (56km) west of San Francisco – on Saturday afternoon, police said.<\/p>\n
Shouyong Zhang and Shili Chen, his parents-in-law who are both 77 years old, are facing multiple charges, including first-degree murder.<\/p>\n
It was unclear whether the couple have a lawyer, and they are due to appear in court to formally face the charges on Wednesday. <\/p>\n
McKinsey’s death was confirmed by The New York Times.<\/p>\n
His body was found at 15:00 (23:00 GMT) on Thursday afternoon outside the Dublin Sports Grounds.<\/p>\n
Witnesses told KGO-TV in San Francisco that they heard a flurry of gunshots, before seeing the victim on the ground.<\/p>\n
“I saw the guy drop to the floor: head bloody and chest bloody,” witness Assad Razawi told the news outlet. <\/p>\n
His daughter added that her father saw the couple “walking together and then casually walk away from the shooting”.<\/p>\n
The couple were arrested several minutes later by an officer passing by the scene. They had remained in the area after the attack, a witness said.<\/p>\n
McKinsey was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police. <\/p>\n
Police have not disclosed any motive for his killing.<\/p>\n
The elderly couple are being held at the Santa Rita jail.<\/p>\n
They also face charges of felony conspiracy, wilful discharge of a firearm with gross negligence, and child endangerment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A New York Times executive was fatally shot in California, allegedly by his wife’s elderly parents who have…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":785807,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-785806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785806","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=785806"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785806\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/785807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=785806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=785806"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=785806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
